Re: Get the table name in a trigger

I believe the question is answered with dynamic SQL.

The dynamic SQL package (dbms_sql ) allows for the construction of any query at runtime. Assuming that rest of the information / data is consistent one
can transfer in the table name at runtime, construct the sql statement, parse and
execute it.

This is all in the programming manual.
